The Utah Salt Flats Racing Association is a proud organization that continues
to grow and provide opportunities for competitors to come to the Bonneville
Salt Flats. The 130-mph format is specifically designed for street cars
& motorcycles. The rules are simple and straight forward. We offer
an entry level opportunity to try Salt Flats competition, without requiring
highly specialized equipment. Many people who have never tried Land Speed
Racing take this opportunity to experience the thrill of the Salt in vehicles
not capable of 130 MPH, and they have a ball. This is not a parade lap.
This format provides a rare chance to run street legal vehicles at speed
on the Salt, which has enticed many to return with real racing vehicles
and compete in the rich traditions of Land Speed Record Racing.
To become a member of the 130 MPH Club,
the vehicle must run the measured mile twice in the same day at a speed
no less than 130 mph.
The speeds of the two runs are then averaged.
